  • Ode to spaghetti:

    I smell such sweetness, such savory wonders as to draw me from my peaceful slumbers.
    Leaving my bedroom what do i see? a pot of spaghetti wholesome and free.
    My insides flutter, my tummy aglow. It is the most delectable food, this i know.
    And then I gasp, my joy torn asunder, for a pie crust is near you, yearning for your wonder.
    The cook, once great is now a foe to defeat.

    NOOOOO!!! i roar, DONT CORRUPT IT

    but it is too late. the deed has been done. I are doomed to a fate
    where my spaghetti and i will never be one.

    ARGG spaghetti = yummy pie = yummy they belong separate, spaghetti, WITH pie. FAB the Spaghetti doesn't go into the pie, otherwise, why don't you just make barf inducing lasagna?

  • Well, today has been quite the day, so i figure i will share. I am here in Georgia and Julie has been going to conventions for her work, leaving me and anita here to babysit the kids. I dont think this will be confined to one day, in fact, i have to start with yesterday.

    NanDee and Joey have left for Missouri, leaving us in their house 'till sunday. So there are tons of things in the refrigerator that need to be used. Last night me and Anita made breakfast for dinner... well eggs and pancakes at any rate, after discovering that nandee does not stock most of our "creative cooking" ingredients in her house.... So the flour we used was uhh odd. I think that it was the flour that already has baking powder mixed in... but i dont know. so those pancakes were NASTY (plus we made them from a random internet recipe) so we just drowned them in syrup and the kids ate them just fine :D. Later, after getting them to bed UGHHH bedtime is an endless sega in itself. we settled down and watched pride and prejudice... until 3 am.

    So this morning i woke up at 7 when allison touched my arm. I jumped majorly and she jumped when i did. that child ate 3 freakin bowls of cereal! then the others emerged and havoc (as always) ensued. they spent hours making me and anita play piglet on gamecube only to have kevin go. "i am tired of this game" and resetting it right when we got to the end. I went outside for a second and when i returned kevin and shannon were trying to haul a cooler full of toys into the living room.... you know, i had all sorts of stories until i started writing this.

    here is what i will take from georgia. a fondness for goldfish, m&ms and Dr. pepper. a happier disposition, and 60 hours of babysitting experience.

    Here is what i miss in missouri... my garden, my computer, and i would say my friends but none of them are really in missouri right now.

  • My encounter with nature:

    Rachel stood in the shower, washing her hair. She finished turns off the water and draws back the curtain.
    There staring with her is a BEAST of nature.
    It stops confused at the sudden change of environment while Rachel feels the adrenaline rushing. It is up to her to fight back this beast.
    Deciding that its change of scenery is not threatening it began to scurry up the edge of the tub. Rachel realizes that it is going to escape and she can't let it.
    She is in the shower, shoeless, vulnerable. What to do... She needed time to think. What resources did she have.

    WATER!

    She wrung out her hair on the BEAST making it cower and curl all 8 of its legs into a little ball.... It gave her time to ponder.
    She did not have a shoe. She did not want the BEAST's insides decorating her bathtub either.
    She did have a toilet handy. She continued to dump water on its head as she reached out and snapped off a sheet of toilet paper.
    She stopped the steady barrage of water that was holding it at bay and placed the toilet paper in front of it.

    The BEAST soon recovered. A little water was nothing to it. In its ferocity it bared its fangs and rocked back and forth on the wet, slippery surface. Then seeing the white dry deliverance merely a step away, it scampered onto the toilet paper.
    Rachel's lightening reflexes kicked in and she swiftly lifted the toilet paper and deposited it into its receptacle.
    With adept coordination she reached out with her other hand and flushed, just as the sheet grazed the water.

    Rachel smiled with paranoid satisfaction then proceeded to dry herself. Swiveling her head to make sure that the BEAST had no companions.
    For surely if he did they would be enraged and swarm her.
    Rachel fled the bathroom as soon as she could.

    THE END
